Well, If Blackpools squad is in such a bad way as his been said in the media then i am prediciting a 3-0 Hull City win. Maybe more if City score an early goal. If Chester can keep a watch on Phillips i dont see Blackpool scoring. Top of the league Tigers. UTT COYH
Im convinced we will beat them, Blackpool will be shell shocked by leaving the Prem and having most of their best players taken off them, i dont think Holloway will be as dynamic or charismatic since the heartache of being relegated. Blackpool haven’t won away all year and relegated teams always struggle at first in the championship. City are coming off the back of a great pre season and will be looking to test their metal against ex premiership boys in front of an expectant home crowd 2-0 to City at least.
To be fair we beat Swansea who had a good season before and we'd just been relegated. But I'm still certain of us getting the win.
That was at home though, remember what happened in our first away game of last season? The mentality of being poor away from home stuck throughout the summer and for a while in the Championship, before completely reversing of course! EDIT: Oh and i think 3-1 City, even though our defence looks immense i always think Phillips will score. As for us i'll say Fryatt, Brady & Simpson (even if he starts on the bench)
Time to put your crystal meth down me thinks. Even IF Phillips does score it will be mere consolation strike. I look forward to seeing how the BlackCats struggle @ Liverpool next week. For now enjoy watching the mighty Tigers.
I reckon Phillips could have a key part to play, he's always a threat and knows where the goal is. Keep him quiet, we'll do fine.
Not 100% sure on this, but I've just been told that the team is: ------------Gulasci Rosenior Chester Hobbs Dudgeon Koren Cairney McKenna Brady --------Fryatt Adebola Basso Dawson Evans Barmby Simpson
The only thing that is certain is that at the end of the match we be either top, joint top or bottom of the league till tomorrow.

back four look very solid. look to be lacking pace up front and creativity from midfield. However we are having lots of possession.
